The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1.

MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.Kevin Penny scored what was a superb team try on the back of a Matty Russell break and pin-point kick from Kurt Gidley. The score came at the end of the first half of Wolves 40-10 win over Wigan at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Thursday night, a victory that cements Warringtons place at the top of the Super League standings.It was a night to forget for the Warriors as Warrington put seven tries past them, and this score from Penny was the pick of them. The loss does not affect Wigans place in the standings as they remmain in third, though a win for Hull FC over the visiting Catalans Dragons on Friday night would send Shaun Wanes side into fourth.ddddddddddddThe Warrington v Wigan game was the first of two live matches on Sky Sports screens this week, as Huddersfield face Leeds on Friday night from 7.30pm on Sky Sports 2.
